Description

Set discreetly on the edge of the sought-after village of Wilden, this substantial modern country house occupies a position of rare privilege — enjoying uninterrupted countryside views, genuine privacy and an immediate sense of arrival.

Completed in recent years to a notably high standard, the house extends to over 6,100 sq ft and is set within approximately two acres of carefully landscaped grounds. The result is a home that feels both established and contemporary, designed to accommodate modern living without sacrificing proportion, balance or longevity.

The architecture is confident yet composed. A symmetrical façade gives way to a striking double-height entrance hall, where natural light, scale and clean lines set the tone for the accommodation beyond. Living spaces flow across the rear of the house, oriented to maximise outlook and connection to the gardens, with an open-plan kitchen, dining and family room forming the natural centre of daily life.

Equally, the house offers separation when required. Additional reception rooms provide quieter, more formal spaces, allowing the home to adapt effortlessly from family living to entertaining on a larger scale.

The lower ground floor is dedicated to leisure, creating a private environment rarely found outside prime central London homes. A cinema room with bar, games room, study and an indoor swimming pool housed within a vaulted, glazed extension deliver a lifestyle offering that feels considered rather than excessive — designed for year-round enjoyment and long-term use.

Bedroom accommodation is arranged over the upper floors, with five double suites, each with its own en-suite bathroom. The principal suite occupies the entire top floor, offering complete privacy, a dressing room and far-reaching rural views that reinforce the home’s sense of escape.

A substantial detached outbuilding sits to the rear of the property, finished to the same standard as the main house and offering outstanding flexibility. Currently arranged to include a gym, office, kitchenette and WC, it lends itself equally well to annexe accommodation, multi-generational living or discreet home working, supported by separate vehicular access.

The gardens and grounds are a defining feature — expansive yet structured, with established lawns, entertaining terraces and a range of recreational areas that can be adapted or simplified to suit the next owner’s preferences. The scale of the plot ensures privacy is preserved, while the open outlook creates a lasting sense of space.

Despite its rural setting, the house remains exceptionally well connected, offering straightforward access to Bedford, Cambridge and Milton Keynes, as well as the A1 and M1 — making it a natural choice for buyers seeking a principal residence beyond London without compromise.

This is a home that offers substance over statement, lifestyle without transience, and a setting that will endure.
